I agree. I picked up JavaScript recently (I'm an embedded systems and firmware guy, so gimme a break!), and decided to play around with designing a basic game. Using parts off of the shelf (bootstrap, parse, and google's APIs) I could build a very pretty, responsive thing that worked well on a variety of devices.

While doing this, I was fumbling around from tutorial to tutorial, figuring out what's what (I still mis-type "backbone" and "bootstrap"). Reading through the questions that others are asking on stackoverflow, I saw a recurrent pattern. Someone would ask "How do I X?" Someone would answer "You do this, this, then that," explaining fairly-articulately the correct answer. A reply to that would be "I don't get it. Can you post a fiddle?" Sometimes inside of those, you'd see (what I think) is a mis-use of a framework. It would work, but either dragged an entire framework into the picture, or caused a tremendous amount of work to happen, when there would usually be a much simpler solution (i.e. do I -always- have to use jQuery?).

I feel like the entry level of programmer might need to change into a different title. "Software tradesman?" I'd describe these as people that know how to assemble a list of components into a working whole. They can replicate a pattern, filling in blanks where appropriate, but can't nip / tuck to change it, and certainly can't design and create a whole -new- component.
